WSDL—

Web Services Description Language (WSDL) is a standard specification for describing

networked, XML-based services. It provides a simple way for service providers to describe
the basic format of requests to their systems regardless of the underlying run-time
implementation.
Differentiate between SOAP and REST?
SOAP
SOAP - Simple Object Access
Protocol
SOAP is a protocol used to
implement web services.
SOAP cannot use REST as it is a
protocol.
SOAP specifies standards that are
meant to be followed strictly.
SOAP client is more tightly
coupled to the server which is
similar to desktop applications
having strict contracts.
SOAP supports only XML
transmission between the client
and the server.
SOAP reads are not cacheable.
SOAP uses service interfaces for
exposing the resource logic.
SOAP is slower.
Since SOAP is a protocol, it
defines its own security measures.
SOAP is not commonly preferred,
but they are used in cases which
require stateful data transfer and
more reliability.
REST
REST - Representational State Transfer
REST is an architectural design pattern for
developing web services
REST architecture can have SOAP protocol as part
of the implementation.
REST defines standards but they need not be
strictly followed.
The REST client is more flexible like a browser and
does not depend on how the server is developed
unless it follows the protocols required for
establishing communication.
REST supports data of multiple formats like XML,
JSON, MIME, Text, etc.
REST read requests can be cached.
REST uses URI to expose the resource logic.
REST is faster.
REST only inherits the security measures based on
what protocol it uses for the implementation.
REST is commonly preferred by developers these
days as it provides more scalability and
maintainability.
